  • Onion - 1 pc.
  • Garlic - a whole head
  • Celery, carrots, leeks - for a rich vegetable flavor
  • Rosemary, allspice, bay leaf
  • Tomato paste - 100 ml
  • Water
  • Red wine - 100 ml or 4 tbsp of balsamic vinegar (if you want a lighter flavor, try balsamic sauce - 2 tbsp)

Method of preparation:

1. Put a whole piece of beef in a baking dish. Add the vegetables and spices.

3. Next, pour the beef with the filling and wine or balsamic vinegar/sauce to give the dish a slight sourness.

How long to cook meat

4. Wrap the mold in several layers of foil (at least 2 layers - this is important!). Cook in the oven at 150 C for 6-7 hours. The longer it takes, the more tender the meat will be.
